Please don't top post Luke (rather, place responses below the former
discussion), nor drop the list from the discussion (i.e. use your email
clients 'reply all').

I have no idea if it requires a firmware. Quite possibly it does, as
many devices require such, but not all. Try to make the edit to the
driver I suggested previously, and then see what is mentioned in the
output of dmesg --- it should give an indication as to whether the
driver expects a firmware (i.e you'll see messages in the log of failed
attempts to load a firmware)

In some cases a firmware maybe embedded in the device itself as opposed
to requiring an upload.
